  3. Gus G. – Steel Burner Review By Baguette of Bodom

    Gus G. is a busy man. For some odd 25 years and counting, the Greek guitarist has not only been running his own band Firewind but also contributed to many notable heavy/power metal acts’ beginnings, such as early Mystic Prophecy and Dream Evil. And somehow on top of that, he’s even managed to fit in five solo albums during that time! Steel Burner becomes the sixth album under the Gus G. moniker, the first since 2021’s very fun Quantum Leap. I was a big fan of Firewind’s energetic 2020 comeback and enjoyed 2024’s anthemic rock-oriented Stand United plenty as well. How does Steel Burner compare to his other recent works, and were any Steel Druhm’s harmed in the making?1

    Gus has proven himself to be a very potent guitarist since the early ’00s, and Steel Burner’s strand of heavy metal offers a good general gist of the instrumental and solo craft he’s known for. The album doesn’t steer too far off Quantum Leap’s core in this regard. Gus’s natural bend towards ’80s rock and metal shows up in full force once again, containing Yngwie and Blackmore-esque guitar hero cheese (“What If,” “Closure”) in terms of both shred and soulful play. A surprising highlight is “Advent” with its interesting djent-ish influences by way of downtuned 2010s rhythm guitar work. It pans out much better than one might think and makes for a refreshing listen in an album full of otherwise expected source material.

    The other side of Steel Burner is the record’s confusing flow and identity, the guest vocalist tracks being at odds with the instrumental songs. Whereas Quantum Leap was fully instrumental, Steel Burner contains a theoretically balanced set of five tracks with vocals and five instrumentals. This intentional variety quickly ends up working against itself. Doro (Doro, ex-Warlock) and Matt Barlow (ex-Iced Earth, ex-Pyramaze) are both starting to show their age, delivering some good lines but flat choruses (“Nothing Can Break Me,” “Dancing with Death”). The suddenly enervated instrumentation exacerbates the quality contrast between Steel Burner’s different aspects. Fortunately, the back half fares better. Vocal mercenaries Ronnie Romero (ex-Rainbow) and Dino Jelusić lend stronger performances on better, more AOR-adjacent tracks (“My Premonition,” “No One Has to Know”), and I wouldn’t mind Gus working with Ronnie more often based on “My Premonition.” Aside from the vocal-instrumental clash, the drums are a sticking point. Gus’s drum programming on the aforementioned tracks is solid, but Quantum Leap’s guest drumming proves that more varied and potent percussion would have helped make these songs much more lively.

    Much like Jeff Waters (Annihilator), Gus G. is an excellent guitarist who is usually better when sharing vocals-forward songwriting reins with other people. Steel Burner tends to repeat some of his early-career hiccups with Mystic Prophecy, where the rhythm guitar tends to be underdeveloped and the songs oddly stripped-down without the choruses compensating for it. Gus is very good at crafting colorful instrumental compositions (“Advent,” “Confession”) or even standard power metal tracks at higher BPMs (“Kill the Pain” on Firewind’s self-titled, “Escape from Tomorrow” all the way back on Forged by Fire), but making a ‘normal’ mid-paced track with vocals often requires some extra hands alongside him. Firewind’s two most recent records are proof of this, and the positive effect of a consistent powerhouse vocalist like Herbie Langhans is undeniably lacking here.

    Steel Burner has its bright spots, but ends up feeling like two EPs in a bar fight. It mashes together parts of Quantum Leap and Stand United, and both halves unfortunately suffer as a result. While nothing on the record is strictly off-putting, the instrumental side is clearly the better and more inspired one, containing the usual guitar goodness you would expect from Gus. Even so, one listen to Quantum Leap’s title track exposes Steel Burner’s general lack of urgency compared to prior works. Grab most of the instrumental tracks and “My Premonition,” and you’ve got a solid EP! Despite the overall experience being hit-and-miss, I still respect Gus’s work ethic, and I’ll be gladly waiting to see what he comes up with next.

  10. I could have posted a beautiful golden sandy beach or a bustling port we are camped next to, but they were only half as interesting as these others nearby.
    Cliffs and cabbage trees. A Monument and some very large water tanks.
    Man and nature do some odd things.
    The monument is to commemorate Able Tasman landing briefly here in 1642. We could have been Dutch if he didn't find the place too inhospitable and high tailed it back home.
    Just as well, because I can't speak a word in their language -:)

  11. For #MusicWomenWednesday this week, this great new EP by Canada project AEROPLANE JU. This is some strange, almost experimental lo-fi bedroom type stuff. There's guitars, shimmering, sparkling strangeness, and some odd, unique vocals- I just dig the hell out of it. Had to buy this one and her other new single - been playing both of them a lot.

    I added a version with a black background just in case the transparent version doesn't display properly. I notice some social media platforms don't support transparency for some odd reason and it's making me paranoid.

  18. #goodafternoon from Oslo Central. The train west across the mountains will have no restaurant car, so I brought sandwiches and some odd leftover game night snacks.

  19. The Baseball Bandwagon

    The Toronto Blue Jays amazing run to the world series (and their almost win!), created some odd new baseball supporters. We would like to showcase some of them today.

    There are new fans who are fashionistas who might be a bit off on their terminology. “Yes,” said one, “I really am struggling to understand how runs can be good. In fashion a run is a very bad faux pas where you need to bring in brand new stockings.”

    “And I’m wondering about runs batted in,” says a second fashionista. “How can one bat one’s eye and cause even one run? Some of these players are causing multiple runs with one bat of the eye! The carnage in stockings is terrible!”

    Then the original fashionista jumps back in, “But home runs make sense. They are the best of all the runs. The run happens at home. So one can easily switch the stockings with that horrible run for good stockings. No one is the wiser.”

    We even found some medical workers who were new to the game of baseball. We chatted with some personal support workers (PSWs) about baseball.

    “Who thinks that runs are good?” asked one. “They cause a stinky mess that needs to be cleaned, Then again, I’ve heard from a doctor myself, they’re usually not that bad for health as long as the patient stays hydrated.”

    “As for runs batted in,” continues the first PSW, “I find it disgusting that someone would play with their own runs. It makes a horrible mess. Who do you think will have to clean it up? Me.”

    But their friend has a different take on home runs. “Home runs are really better than normal runs. They happen at home so, I , as an in hospital PSW, do not have to clean it up. In fact, home implies that they might even make it to the toilet for this run. Even my in house PSW friends might not mind this one.”

    We talked with a producer at a record label. She said “ I can’t understand how a hit isn’t everything. Sometimes it doesn’t even count on the scoreboard. But for me, a hit means future business. It means a small fortune on its own. It can even mean a good career.”

    We also talked with someone who wouldn’t give his occupation. He said, “I always wondered about bats in baseball. Everyone talks about them but they are very rare at a baseball game. I’ve heard of a seagull getting hit but never a bat. But they (and baseball) become more important in October. I was not surprised that they were mentioning bats a lot on Hallowe’en when the Jays and Dodgers played. But I was a bit puzzled why they kept up the talk on the November 1st game. I mean, honestly. Hasn’t everyone moved on to Christmas by that date?”

    But their friend has a different take on home runs. “Home runs are really better than normal runs. They happen at home so, I , as an in hospital PSW, do not have to clean it up. In fact, home implies that they might even make it to the toilet for this run. Even my in house PSW friends might not mind this one.”

    We talked with a producer at a record label. She said “ I can’t understand how a hit isn’t everything. Sometimes it doesn’t even count on the scoreboard. But for me, a hit means future business. It means a small fortune on its own. It can even mean a good career.”

    We also talked with someone who wouldn’t give his occupation. He said, “I always wondered about bats in baseball. Everyone talks about them but they are very rare at a baseball game. I’ve heard of a seagull getting hit but never a bat. But they (and baseball) become more important in October. I was not surprised that they were mentioning bats a lot on Hallowe’en when the Jays and Dodgers played. But I was a bit puzzled why they kept up the talk on the November 1st game. I mean, honestly. Hasn’t everyone moved on to Christmas by that date?”

  21. The Baseball Bandwagon

    The Toronto Blue Jays amazing run to the world series (and their almost win!), created some odd new baseball supporters. We would like to showcase some of them today.

    There are new fans who are fashionistas who might be a bit off on their terminology. “Yes,” said one, “I really am struggling to understand how runs can be good. In fashion a run is a very bad faux pas where you need to bring in brand new stockings.”

    “And I’m wondering about runs batted in,” says a second fashionista. “How can one bat one’s eye and cause even one run? Some of these players are causing multiple runs with one bat of the eye! The carnage in stockings is terrible!”

    Then the original fashionista jumps back in, “But home runs make sense. They are the best of all the runs. The run happens at home. So one can easily switch the stockings with that horrible run for good stockings. No one is the wiser.”

    We even found some medical workers who were new to the game of baseball. We chatted with some personal support workers (PSWs) about baseball.
